Next 2 inch square top

I am reporting on my current project involving scrap 2 inch squares.  I had two shoeboxes full of short and long strips and miscellaneous squares. 

To back up, the shoeboxes looked like this a few weeks ago, overflowing:

I cut strips from old old stash to use it up.  I then made a pattern called Clean Up from Quilted Twins, as outlined in THIS POST.

I used up many of the long 2 inch strips, sewing them together, then cross cutting them.  The (almost) final top looks like this:

I added some more 2 inch squares to the right and left hand sides, to make the quilt top a little wider.

Now the shoe boxes looked like this:

The strips are a little fluffed up, I'll admit.  Still so much fabric!  What to do?  Go back to the Quilted Twins website and find another pattern I guess.  I picked Light and Dark, but, I used leftover backing fabric for my 'darks'.  I had some sage green fabric, not quite wide enough for the quilt projects I do.

(The batting is still attached - I removed it).  I alternated the sage green fabric with my scraps, making strip sets and cross cutting them (right):

On the left: individually cut scraps alternating with the sage green fabric.  

One block, laid out:

And four blocks together:

I am using up the scraps at a slower rate with this pattern.  I now have 6 blocks done, but each block finishes at 15 inches, so I have a ways to go.  How much of those 2 inch scraps will I use up?  Will I run out of sage green fabric?  We shall see.
